COLORADO SPRINGS — A Colorado Springs shopping center has fallen into foreclosure two weeks after Safeway announced it's closing its grocery store that anchors the property.

A $15.1 million foreclosure notice was filed Friday against the owners of the Carefree Center, which runs along North Academy Boulevard between North Carefree Circle and Village Seven Road on the Springs' northeast side, according to El Paso County Public Trustee's Office records.

It's the largest foreclosure notice this year in El Paso County as measured by dollar value, according to Trustee's Office records.
